Predicting a loss vs. GB

Cam and the offense will keep the Panthers in the game, but Aaron Rodgers will completely cut open the Panthers secondary. If Kevin Kolb can have the day he had...first game on a new team in a new system...imagine what Rodgers is going to do with the hurry up offense and all the weapons he has. With Beason out and Connor a serious liability in pass coverage, it's going to be wide open up the middle.

I just hope McDermott realizes there isn't enough talent in the secondary to blitz as much as he wants.

Prediction:

Packers 45

Panthers 28

I don't see the Packers putting up those points. I think they beat us fairly easily.....but based on that NO game NO dictated it would be a shoot early by there defense. Carolina can dictate that GB opts to run more.....like NO did later in the game. I think Carolina will make them want to run.....Carolina will run more. simply a matter of less attempts for the GB offense.

Our best bet is to run the ball and keep the GB offense off the field.I see us throwing more to TEs more to counter the zone blitz.If we execute the run and time of possesion it may be respecful but make no doubt ARogers will torch our dbs but maybe Gamble.On defense I see us throwing everything we have blitzing Rogers.I think it is the only shot we have.If he has times he will torch our dbs.

If Cam wouldn't have had an all-pro performance this past Sunday, I'd say they might overlook us and we might be able to get the upset. But with Cam playing like he did, they're going to come to play. IDK, maybe they might still be under the mindset of "he's a rookie, it was a fluke" in which case, the upset is possible.

I got us losing 35-20. Game is much tighter though. I got us at a 10-7 lead going into halftime, then they come out and pull away late. We rally, but it isn't enough. I think our defense will be surprising this week.

Of course, we could easily be down by 20 at halftime as well. We'll have to see.

I think the best bet is to give them fronts that are attractive to run on.....keeps GB on the field longer.

You saw the Saints wisely adjust doing that....Rodgers will pick apart pressure for big and quick drives. Better to get GB to put the offense on the RBs.....

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Then if he needs time to grow up and he is going to sign an extension in needs to be a 3 year, 20m AAV. He doesn't deserve to get paid like a top 10 QB right now because he's not. Daniel Jones is getting 14m and is playing top notch football.  He may have had some better games, but his mechanics and footwork are still terrible when he feels any pressure, real or not. When he feels good, he steps into his throws like he should. When he doesn't, it's that body squared up or jumping arm toss or tip toe lob. His fumbling is a huge problem. He cant run QB sneaks. He cant really play from under center because his drop backs are terrible and he needs to be far back to get enough gapping to see the field. That's not top 10 QB contract worthy.  And let's not pretend that Bryce is some victim in all of this. Remember him packing on 20 lbs before the combine for the weigh in and walking around in a hoodie the entire time or practicing that S2 test that no one has mentioned before or since so he'd have better results, or riding that hype train like the wheels weren't ever going to fall off. Stroud got roasted and torn apart because of a "leaked" S2 result. He was being portrayed as an idiot while Bryce was being portrayed as a savant. All Stroud ever said was watch me play football. He proved his point.  Bryce did everything he could to make himself the number 1 overall pick and when that happens, guess where you're going? To a bad team, likely with a new coach and it's probably going to be full of dysfunction especially if the owner is Dave Tepper. But the real dysfunction came because Bryce wasn't Reich's choice for QB. He wanted Stroud because Stroud fit the type of offense he ran better than Bryce ever could. That's why he lost interest as soon as he was drafted. He was forced to play Bryce when it was obvious he wasn't ready to show off Tepper's shiny new draft pick. No HC is going to come to a team when he gets no choice over who he has as a QB to build around and he has to reinvent the wheel when the easiest thing to do was just buy the wheel that fit to begin with. Tepper lied to Reich all the way up until draft day, then he made that pick. Then Reich checked out, and i don't blame him one bit. And I'll be clear, I didn't want Reich. I wanted Steichen because of what he's doing in Indy or Ryans because I thought he would make one hell of a leader and HC.  Reich was a HC with no control over his own team. I put the majority of what's gone wrong involving Bryce on Tepper. The trade gave up too much in picks and DJ to build around him, we had a horrid GM who couldn't draft or build a roster, a QB forced to play before he's ready, an owner that thinks he knows more than football people.    There's a lot of moving pieces in all of this, but we cant pay Bryce 50m AAV at the end of this season while he figures it out, and the 5th year doesnt make sense either if we're a run heavy offense with Bryce as game manager. You dont need a 30m, 5th year option QB for that. If he's not there developmentally, he's not there.  Unfortunately, there isnt time to just calm down. He plays like a game manager this year and we have to move on. You dont give game managers huge contracts behind the highest paid oline in football, especially when you need to sign your LT. Any journeyman can give us Bryce level results for 15m less per year. Just the way it is. If there was more time, maybe. Unfortunately there isn't. Just the way it is.

      Offensive Line

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      We’ve had opportunities to take 2 of the top 5 Cs in the game and instead we took TMJ and Johnathan Brooks. Our drafts since 2017 have been 1 player per draft and then huge misses on lots of really good NFL players (who the huddle have talk about in the draft threads). It’s been mentioned here so many times to draft more OL once you get to the 2nd and beyond since C/G talent is top tier in day 2 and lots of surprise day 3 guys. Taking Brooks over Frazier just looks worse and worse as our OL helps Chuba and Rico look great and Frazier would be a large improvement over Mays.
